This is what mayhem, bedlam and the destruction of your home
accomplish:

·One black male is still dead.

Congratulations, you just set civil rights along with humanity
as a whole back 100 years! Who is to blame for all of this? The answer is actually
quite simple. In a society where 90% of violent crimes against blacks are committed
by blacks themselves, yet there are no protests, calls for justice or major
media coverage concerning this issue. You know why? It is the same reason that
you don’t hear about white on white violent crimes which happen at right around
the same clip. It’s because the “race baiters” in society have nothing to gain
from it. Where is Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, etc. when the above mentioned
crimes are being perpetrated? Nowhere, because there are no camera present or
dollars to be made. The race card is only relevant when there is something to
gain. The dream that Martin Luther King had has turned into a multi-million
dollar industry for the above mentioned players and others like them, and the
ones who suffer are the people that they are reported to help. When this
situation calms down and the TV cameras disappear, they will move on to the
next “cause” and not take the time to look back at the destruction that is left
behind. The problem with communities like Ferguson and others like it is that
it’s too easy to blame others for the situations that it faces. I have heard
over and over about the racial makeup of the city council, school board and
police force and how blacks have no voice. In a town where 67% of the voting population
is black, if 100% did there civic duty and voted then these publicly determined
positions would be filled by the demographics that the town represents. That
math works at both Chico State and Harvard. It’s not a matter of race and
hatred, it’s a matter of ignorance and laziness. Use your God given right as a
citizen of the United States to make a difference and vote. Race didn’t kill Michael
Brown, the ignorance of attacking a police officer did. Racism didn’t cause the
city council and police force of Ferguson to be white, the laziness of the
voting public determined that. Race did not cause the violence seen in this
same city last night, the race baiting of the lazy and the ignorant did and the
community is ultimately the one who suffers. Ignorance and laziness
sees no color, unless it’s told too….Merica.

PS. Happy Tuesday peeps on this holiday week, may you have a
drink in your hand as it comes to an early close and remember…..You’re either at
the table or on the menu.

Life according to me:

Farming includes lots of long hours and hard work. Many hours on the tractor and in the field also gives you lots of time to figure out the world's problems at the same time you are trying to feed it, I guess multi-tasking is one of our greatest strengths. From politics to sports to music to why did insert actor or actress wear that to the Oscar's please enjoy and feedback is not only welcome it is necessary.......Thank you!
